Hasn't he been rowing since the season 3 finale?

Show Gendry is going to be buff AF when he comes back.

Girl power and homos have been a running theme from the beginning. Having watched 4 seasons before reading the books, that's the difference that stood out the most.



I might suck at reading comprehension, but I've read the series twice and never picked up on Renley being gay. It must have been much more subtle in the books. The show leaves no doubts.....

If I hadn't seen the show, I probably would not have noticed, but when he's described as being a lot more comfortable around Loras than Marge, I picked up on it. Also, during the parley with Stannis, he tells hi that Marge came to him as a maid, to which Stannis replies "if she sleeps in your bed every night, she'll most likely die a maid as well." or something like that.

Definitely no shaving scenes in the book.

"As swift as the wind he rides, and behind him his khalasar covers the earth, men without number, with arakhs shining in their hands like blades of razor grass. Fierce as a storm this prince will be. His enemies will tremble before him, and their wives will weep tears of blood and rend their flesh in grief. The bells in his hair will sing his coming, and the milk men in the stone tents will fear his name." The old woman trembled and looked at Dany almost as if she were afraid. "The prince is riding, and he shall be the stallion who mounts the world." - A Game of Thrones, Chapter 46


Can somebody explain what this means:the milk men in the stone tents will fear his name

"Milk men in the stone tents will fear his name" - Milk Men are the Qartheen, who fear her after she burned the Undying

Milk Men is the name for the Qartheen in the Dothraki tongue. They are called this name due to their pale complexion

This is from Westeros.org

The Milk Men are what the Dothraki call the Quartheen.

why would Qartheen be in stone tents? How do you have a stone tent?

It is a metaphor for their houses and city made out of stones. The Dothraki are the Mongols of the story and live in yurts.

Stone tent = castle

The Dothraki lived in tents on the move across their part of the world. It's just a metaphor.

What did you guys think of the Sand Snakes? Apparently a lot of people absolutely hated that scene.

I don't remember how Obara's story was revealed in the books, but it did seem a little cheesy in that scenario.

To be fair, GRRM's Dorne storyline is pretty weak as of now.
